[QUOTE="witzend, post: 210104, member: 99"] It definitely sounds as though she is depressed. One thing that the doctor explained to husband that has really helped him keep on his medications (and the fact that I put them in daily pill dispensers) was the statistic (can't site the source) that if a person is clinically depressed once, and they come out of it, they are twice as likely to become depressed again. The second time they are doubly so, and so forth until it becomes inevitable that the depressed person who stops treatment will be depressed and will be less likely to be helped by the same treatment that worked before. I hate to hear that your daughter is doing so poorly. I would probably make medication compliance (and therapy compliance, if you think that might be helpful with someone new) a condition of her continuing to live at home. [/QUOTE]
